It is true that "men of faith and prayer will be constrained to go forth with holy zeal, declaring the words which God gives them." But I doubt if God is going to use those who have so little love of the truth that they seem opposed to writing in an attractive way, with clarity, correct spelling and proper grammar. Even worse, some writers appear to be so indifferent to the integrity of the message that they don't even care about checking their facts. Why would God choose sloppy, unthinking and inattentive minds to communicate His message? How could such people be consecrated to God's service?
